iJim Radio

iJim Radio. Hosted by Jim (iJim) Pearson an ex gamer who now spends as much time as he can out doors, iJim is an instructor in the UK's largest youth organization, namely the Army Cadet Force. Some time ago iJim realised that he wasn't getting any younger so started recording some if the stories and memories from his life, to act as a reminder for "Future me"

Dear Future me and all you podcast listeners, today I want to tell you about how I met my wife all those years ago. The place where we met is no longer there and has since been turned into a small office complex with shops selling perfumes and scented candles

Hi Future Me,
Can you remember the first time we ever got drunk? By drunk I mean steaming, absolutely stinking drunk.. I can
In this podcast I recall the first time I ever got drunk while on a school trip to France, I also talk about how earlier that day I ate an animal that, at any other time I would not even consider eating.
Note: Dear Miss Williams, If you are still alive and you happen across this podcast, I am so very sorry for what I did to you. I still feel bad about it to this day.

This is a rather old video blog which has been converted into a podcast, I converted it because I think the subject is still relevant.
Trust, if you were to see someone in a secluded area, away from the public, and they looked like they had had an accident or in need of help would you go to help without a second thought or would you be more cautious? Im not sure how I would handle the situation, I would like to think I would help without a second thought but in reality, I am not too sure

I dont want is a poem I wrote way back around 1994 while living in a run down hostel for the homeless. It was cold, wet and the only sorce of power I had was a bare bulb and a light switch.

Dear Future me, can you remember the slide?
This is where I talk about one of our first good memories of school, a slide and my first steps into that of a rebel and how we managed to live into the 1980`s given the lack of safety legislation when we were little.

I have published this recording in the past but for some reason it isn't hereon iJim Radio, so here it is again.
A story I told to my Mom about my earliest memory. I told her the story because I didnt know whether it was a memory or a dream that I had when I was young.

In my last podcast I might have came across as hating on technology, this is not the case, I love technology, it's just that at this moment I am realising that tech is just a communication tool, nothing more

This podcast is raw and unedited, published as is..
In this podcast I talk a out how we as a species will struggle in a grid down post apocalyptic situation because we have become so disconnected from the world around us, even though our technology has made the world a smaller place it seems so much more out of reach because of our technological advances.

In this podcast I talk about what ADHD is and how people with ADHD are effected in todays day and age where everyone is expected to consentrate on what they are doing and nothing else.

Really the title of this podcast says it all..
Where I talk about what went through my head last week when I passed a mere toddler drinking a can of cheep energy drink.
Would you br OK with your young children drinking energy drinks? Would you go out and buy them and how would you cope with your young spawn crashing out half way through a zombie apocalypse?

Imagine if you will that the world as we know it has come to an end, society has collapsed and the rule of law is no more.
You have been on the road for a few days and need to find some water, there is a derelict town just up ahead, but where do you find water in an urban setting when everywhere is concrete and glass?

In this podcast I talk about something which is not post apocalyptic or related to horror movies.
As part of my assessment to become an instructor in the UK Army Cadets I have to have a lot of security checks done to make sure I am not a risk. So far these checks and assessments have taken just over 5 month.
In this podcast I ask the question who dont other companies run the same checks on people who are applying for jobs where they will come into contact with children and vulnerable adults?

In light of a tweet I read earlier today I ask the question, Is The UK Government Sabotaging Brexit Negotiations? I personally have been thinking that this is the case for some time now, I just needed someone to point out how this is the case.

If you have dipped your toe in the pool of emergency prepardness you will have probably heard the term SHTF, I know I have used it a few times in my blog posts and podcasts. But what exactly is a SHTF situation?

With Hurricane Florence on the war path, emergency preparedness has got real for many, including me, even though I live in a different country miles away, for me it shows just how fragile the world and the "things" that we treasure and own are.

When people hear the word prepper the first thing that pops into their head is the thought of someone dressed in full tactical gear sat in a bunker filled with food and water clutching an assault rifle waiting for the apocalypse.
This could not be further from the truth.

My "come back" podcast did end up showing quite a dire situation if the grid were to gown long term, either way,, what ever happens, if anything happens at all, there are ways where we can try to maintain some kind of normality.
Which is where preparing for such a thing is a good idea.

Over the last few months I have been thinking about what i would do if something which would change the lives of my family, my self and many others in the long term.
With this in mind I started to prepare a few things which would get my family and I through a disaster of any sorts, whether it be a bad snow storm or a grid down situation.
If the grid was to go down, the immediate effects would throw people into a panic mind set which no doubt would escalate.. quickly

After having a moment last night where I realised the music on my phone was being used to feed and justify my moods, I deleted them all and replaced them with an audio book I found and one of my all time favourite albums.. and the memories are flooding back

Today is March 14th, it is also International Pi day because pi = 3.14 but you knew that cos you're extra smart. It is also the day that Albert Einstein was born and the day that my lifelong hero Professor Stephen Hawking died.

Where I talk about a few things people should take into account when they watch a "How to be a successful ...."video.
These videos are usually made my people who run popular niche channels/stations/blogs. Also,from experience,one of the easiest ways to get views on YouTube is to make a video about how to be a successful.... (I know, I made one, once)

Where iJim talks about the stupidity of some US colleges who threatened to suspend students who protested about assault rifles and semi automatic weapons.
As well as how he coped with the arrival of The Beast From The East.
